Water...

It's $4,300 a year to view that journal, so you'll forgive me if I don't give you the link. Will the author's description of the conclusions suffice?

Thirst is, in fact, a very sensitive mechanism for regulating fluid intake, according to Barbara Rolls, PhD, a nutrition researcher at Pennsylvania State University. In a 1984 study in Physiology and Behavior, she and a group of colleagues at Oxford University followed a group of men as they went through their normal day. Left to their own devices, the volunteers became thirsty and drank long before their hydration levels showed any signs of dipping.

Says Rolls, "If people have access to water or other fluid beverages, they seem to do a very good job of maintaining hydration levels."

Also, if you don't know the difference between "a magazine" and a scientific journal I doubt you could read and/or comprehend anything published in one, they're generally not written for a lay audience.

It's certainly more difficult to wrap your head around than Louisiana's castle doctrine statute, something we've all seen you completely misunderstand.

so, we're all agreed then.. we should all drink more water. Period.

I try to drink my share of water during the week. Get well hydrated, and ready for the weekend wink wink nudge nudge

Exactly what I said, thirst by itself isn't an indication of dehydration. You haven't made some startling discovery, joe, you've merely "verified" a fact most of us already know in an feeble attempt at starting an argument......better luck next time.
